My experience with Neuromancer was that every page was incredibly evocative and engaging, just constant absolute bangers throughout. I also felt like I literally had no idea what was happening until two or three chapters after it had happened. Which was actually kinda neat, experiencing the story basically in hindsight while fire played out on the page in front of me. But I can certainly see how someone may be put off by it, though Gibson’s writing is probably my favourite I have read.
